He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 132 First Arrival in Konoha (First Update)

June 23, 60th year of Konoha, outside the gate of Konoha Village.

A luxurious carriage slowly approached from afar. A man dressed in samurai attire, standing beside the carriage with his arms crossed, gazed at the gates of Konoha ahead and sighed:

"I never imagined that one day I, the lord, could walk into Konoha's village so openly and honestly."

A young girl dressed as a maid next to him chuckled and covered her mouth:

"Lord Zabuza, we have to thank Lord Kawa for bringing us here."

At this moment, Li Chuan also poked his head out of the carriage:

"Remember your identities: one is Zhan, the captain of the Prince's Guard, and the other is Bai, a maid. Don't give yourselves away, or you'll be in big trouble."

When he left the Naruto world last time, the Daimyo summoned him to his residence and ordered him to lead the nobles of the Land of Fire to Konoha to observe the Chunin Exams as a prince.

So after returning this time, he immediately summoned Zabuza and Haku to the Land of Fire, and then had the two of them use their transformation jutsu to become his attendants and come with him.

Normally, dignitaries from various countries would only arrive for the final official matches, but Li Chuan would definitely have to come early to scout out the location and gather intelligence on Konoha.

Otherwise, by the time the official competition starts, it will be too late.

"We are more professional in these areas than you are."

Zabuza rolled his eyes and replied.

As an elite Jonin, his skills in infiltration, disguise, and intelligence gathering are far superior to those of Li Chuan, a pampered prince.

"Don't worry, Lord Kawa. We've already changed our appearance using the Transformation Technique. As long as we avoid using ninjutsu as much as possible, even if we encounter Kakashi, he won't be able to recognize us."

Bai explained in a gentle tone.

"That's good."

Li Chuan looked at Bai's appearance, nodded, and loosened the curtain.

To be honest, when Bai uses the transformation magic to become a girl, it doesn't feel out of place at all. Her tone of voice, mannerisms, and movements are exactly like those of a gentle young lady.

He couldn't help but marvel at how terrifying cross-dressing men could be.

"Please stop and show your pass."

At the gates of Konoha, two ninjas wearing green vests saw the carriage approaching and stood up to block it outside the gates.

Bai smiled and stepped forward, taking out a stamped pass and handing it to one of the ninjas:

"My master is the esteemed Prince Madokawa, who has come to Konoha to observe your Chunin Exams on the orders of the Daimyo. He has already informed your Hokage in advance."

The ninja quickly glanced at the document, and after confirming it was correct, his tone softened, and he replied very politely:

"So it's Your Highness. Welcome to Konoha. The Hokage gave the order this morning. My name is Izumo Kamitsu. I will take you to see the Hokage."

"The Land of Fire and Konoha are one, there's no need to be so formal."

Li Chuan lifted the curtain of the carriage, dressed in the attire of a nobleman from the Land of Fire, and jumped down from it.

"Your Highness, are you not taking the carriage?"

Bai hurriedly came over to help Li Chuan, her face full of concern, fully demonstrating the qualities a maid should have.

Li Chuan waved his hand:

"My back aches from sitting all the way here, so I want to get off and walk around. After all, it's my first time in Konoha. I've always heard that the scenery of Konoha Village is beautiful, so this is a good opportunity to enjoy it."

"Greetings, Your Highness."

When Kamizuki Izumo and his friend Kotetsu saw Li Chuan get off the carriage, they immediately bowed respectfully.

Although the ninjas in this world are powerful, in their minds, the status of nobles is still very high, especially for top-ranking nobles like Li Chuan.

"Haha, no need for that, just call me Chuan. Please lead the way."

Li Chuan smiled and nodded.

Izumo and Kotetsu exchanged a glance, both of them breathing a sigh of relief.

Surprisingly, this prince is quite nice. It seems that today's reception work will be much easier.

And so, led by Izumo Kamui, Li Chuan and the others passed through the gates of Konoha and the powerful protective barrier outside the walls, entering Konoha Village, the most prosperous and powerful village in the Naruto world.

With its clean streets, comfortable houses, bustling streets, and ninjas and villagers coming and going with happy faces, Konoha, on the surface, is indeed the best village compared to other ninja villages.

This can be seen from Zabuza's extremely jealous gaze.

Konoha has indeed experienced many tragedies and lost many people, but it is still much better than other ninja villages.

The living conditions are excellent, and there are all kinds of shops. If a child wants to become a ninja, they can go to the ninja school when they reach the appropriate age. There are special teachers to teach them, and they can play and improve with peers of the same age.

After graduation, they will be assigned to Chunin and Jonin, starting with the simplest and least dangerous missions, and gradually getting used to ninja battles.

Looking at other ninja villages, it's either sandstorms or dust storms, where even drinking water is a problem, let alone a good life. Or they're killing each other, and seven- or eight-year-old children already have blood on their hands.

The only slightly better one is probably Kumogakure, which can barely compare with Konoha in terms of economic conditions and culture. In fact, it even suppressed Konoha when the Fourth Hokage had just died, the Sannin had left, and the younger generation had not yet risen to prominence.

"It's the Hokage Rock."

After walking for about ten minutes, Li Chuan saw four huge stone statues hanging on the cliff in the distance, which were the First, Second, Third and Fourth Hokage of Konoha.

"Izumo Kamui, have all the ninja from other villages arrived?"

"Your Highness, the Sand Village, Sound Village, and Grass Village have all arrived this morning, but the Rain Village and Waterfall Village have not yet arrived."

Izumo Kamatsuki replied respectfully.

Although His Highness the Prince told him to just call him by his name, he couldn't possibly be so impolite.

"Speaking of which, I know a few ninjas from your village. I wonder if they'll be participating in the Chunin Exams this time."

Li Chuan smiled.

Izumo Kamui looked on with surprise:

"Does His Highness know any of our village's genin?"

He wouldn't be surprised if Li Chuan was referring to Jonin and Chunin, because the missions that Jonin and Chunin undertake give them the opportunity to come into contact with nobles of Li Chuan's caliber.

However, genin (low-ranking ninjas) rarely leave their villages and mostly do low-level missions. Apart from the daimyo's wife who often loses her cat, they shouldn't have any opportunities.

Even for him, a special Jonin, this was the first time he had ever met this prince from the Land of Fire.

"Yes, I met them while traveling a while ago. Their names are... Oh, I see them! Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke! Long time no see!"

Just as Li Chuan was chatting with Izumo Kamizuki, they happened to see Naruto and his two companions under a big tree in the distance, so they reached out and waved to them.

"Brother Chuan!!!"

Naruto and his two companions were discussing the Chunin Exams they had just heard from the Sand Ninja when they suddenly heard a familiar voice. They turned around and saw Li Chuan, and immediately exclaimed in surprise.
